Nature has a unique interplay of form, texture, colour and function, and for Michele, pottery is an invitation to the endless reimagining of that dynamic relationship. Driven by her curiosity of colour and form, Michele explores the chemistry of glaze-making and the relationships glaze has with form to further develop her unique visual language in ceramic art.
The ‘Seed’ series is an expression of the stored life potential that comes with a combination of attention and intention. Beginning with stoneware clay on a wheel, Michele layers custom stained slips with paper resists. Then the exterior surface of each piece is glazed with special watertight, durable glazes that Michele has developed especially for this series.
